Civil control of the military, an Uncommon card
Civil control of the military is a doctrine in military and political science that places ultimate responsibility for a country's military strategic decision-making in the hands of the civil authority, rather than with the military leadership itself.

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Civil oversight over militaries, mainly used in democratic governments, puts the power to take military action in the hands of a civil leader or legislative agency.
- Allowing the civil component of government to retain control over the military or state security shows a healthy respect for democratic values and good governance.
- Giving power to the civil component of the government over what the military can do and how much money it can spend protects the democratic process from abuse.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Civil control of the military article was read about 17,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 75 and blocks with 48: each hit it takes is cut by 19 %.
